At Your Pharmacy Advocate, we recognize the challenges associated with managing your child’s #ADHD condition and medications. Our priority is to fill in the gaps when it comes to the needs of parents caring for children with ADHD. buff.ly/2D3F47j

Research into osteoarthritis and vitamin deficiencies has found vitamin D to be critical to bone development and maintenance. If you have or are at risk for the disease, ask your pharmacist about which supplements you can take with your medication regimen.

A survey of hypertension patients who participated in biweekly consults with pharmacists showed that frequent pharmacist-patient interaction is reassuring to patients who might otherwise have to endure long waits for a checkup by their primary care provider.

Just because they’re over the counter doesn’t mean they don’t have side effects or potential contraindications. Always tell your pharmacist about any OTC medications you take, including vitamins and any herbal or dietary supplements.

Empowering patients to speak up when they don’t understand their medication instructions or when they experience a potential side effect is vital to proper medication management. At YPA, we empower open and frequent communication from patients regarding their prescriptions.
Intravenous medicines are among the most commonly mis-administered medications. If you’ve been prescribed an injectable drug, talk to your pharmacist and ensure that you fully understand the correct dosage and instructions for use.

Yes, medication is a science, but finding the right treatment combination for your individual child is more like an art. buff.ly/2P8q4r1

Some studies have shown that e-prescribing - a system where prescribers receive electronic notifications and can track whether and when a patient has filled a prescription - can help providers and pharmacists improve medication adherence and patient health outcomes.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found that medical errors, including adverse drug events resulting from medication mismanagement, are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Pharmacists have a key role to play in preventing small errors from becoming tragedies.

Did you know that foods high in sodium and saturated fat thicken your blood, forcing the heart to work overtime to circulate it? If you’re one of more than 75 mil Americans w/ hypertension, talk to your pharmacists about making heart-healthy changes to your diet and lifestyle.
How should I store my medication? What should I do if I miss a dose? When should I follow up with my doctor? Clearing up any questions you have with your pharmacist when you fill your prescription can help you avoid adverse complications down the line.

Did you know reducing sodium intake is a critical step in managing heart and kidney disease? Always check the label when buying food items, and experiment with different salt-free spice and herb combinations when preparing meals at home.

Choosing the right pillbox for your medication regimen can be a huge time-saver stress-reducer. Your pharmacist can recommend some options, whether it’s a simple day-of-the-week container or a more complex electronic device programmed with alarms and spoken instructions.

Talking to an aging family member about the medications they take can sometimes be a tough subject. If you’re having difficulty broaching the topic with your loved one, talk to one of our pharmacists about the best ways of enlisting outside assistance.

One of the hurdles in improving medication adherence in seniors is the physical discomfort caused by taking multiple pills at the same time. Talk to your pharmacist or healthcare provider about liquid, powder, or other alternative forms of your medications.

Drug duplication can sometimes occur because a patient does not realize some medications contain the same ingredients. Unintentionally mixing acetaminophen-containing cold medicines with Tylenol is one example of the potential dangers of drug redundancy.

Another important reason to check in regularly with your pharmacist? If you’ve recently lost or gained a significant amount of weight, you may need to have your dosages adjusted to avoid adverse side effects.

Did you know that your body's ability to break down medication decreases by half between ages 30 to 70?
Regular check-ins with your pharmacist and healthcare providers ensure you’re getting the right dosage for you.

College students are being prescribed meds to treat depression, anxiety, and ADD, many of whom are being diagnosed for the very first time. Talking through your questions about your medication with a pharmacist sets the stage for a successful long-term treatment plan.

Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors can cause you to become deficient in magnesium and vitamin B12. Your pharmacist can play a vital role in counseling you on how to safely supplement your diet to accommodate this and other types of nutritional deficiencies.
